1968 Ford, F-100 Stepside, Short Bed, Big Block, Automatic, Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1968 Ford, F-100 step side, short bed truck. The truck was a one owner truck until 2010 and has only 79K original miles. The truck was purchased off of the showroom floor in San Jose California as the family's second vehicle and it comes with the 2 original keys and "original" dated, owner's manual. The engine is a 360 big block engine with an automatic transmission. The truck is pretty much original with the exception of the west coast mirrors and the dual exhaust. The rear bumper was either a factory or dealer option, but did come new with the truck. The interior has been updated with a new seat cover, arm rest and dash cover, otherwise everything is original with the truck when new. The brake system has been gone thru completely and the radiator and starter have been replaced. The tires have plenty of good life left in them. The truck does not squeak or rattle when driving down the road and is a true attention getter in any setting. Pretty much everything on the truck works except the horn and maybe an interior light? The original AM radio truck, gauges and knobs are all intact and functioning. The truck looks to have had some paint work done to one of the doors years ago, but can't really tell what damage was done. Although the truck runs nice, it has been sitting for well over a year and has developed an oil leak. I am pretty sure that it is the front main seal, but since driving the truck today, it has slowed or stopped. I replaced the battery today and the truck started and runs good, except for some minor hesitation when accelerating. I have added some carb cleaner and expect that a little driving will clear everything back to normal. There is some surface rust "only"on the truck, but all easily repairable and only minor stuff. There are several small dents in the truck, but again, nothing major. The door hinges are tight as can be and it runs and drives smooth. The doors all close tight and the windows and seals are all in great shape. The bed is the original wood from the factory, but the 2 outer boards need to be replaced. I am out of garage space and the truck needs to find a new home. This is a nice truck that can be pretty much left "as is" or is a great candidate for a total restoration. I have a clear Florida title in hand and a $500 PayPal deposit is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The deposit is non-refundable, so please ask all of the questions that you have before bidding. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction close. I can assist with getting the truck loaded on a car carrier as you may need. The truck is offered with no warranty and is also for sale locally and therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking!! |

Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
